Most top high school football recruits are still riding the high of National Signing Day last week. The excitement of nationally televised announcements, visions of future greatness, and assurance of a great team can swirl in the minds of seventeen year old guys. But one Seminole recruit is focused on more than just winning. He [...]

Wednesday was my first National Signing Day as a fan who had intimately followed recruiting. Months of hype all came down to one signature, on one piece of paper, done by one seventeen year old guy, that thousands of people were watching. Non-sports people must think we’re nuts.
My NSD ritual started Tuesday night around 10pm [...]

How to use ScalpEm.com on National Signing Day

Check Tomahawk Nation (best recruiting coverage) and Seminoles.com (official site).
If it’s too “loud” at TN for you, come back here and comment with our writers.

Seriously, I’ll update as the day progresses and I’m sure there will be some chatter in here for the ScalpEm.com writers, but I’m not [...]

Okay, right off the bat, I’ll admit this post is a month overdue, but hey at least it’s going up.
What follows is my personal (and some off-the-wall*) predictions about FSU sports, mostly football. 2010 has already proven to be an unprecedented year in FSU football history. Who would’ve guessed the retiring of our legendary coach [...]

As you are probably well aware, “National Signing Day” is this Wednesday. That is the day colleges nationwide find out which current high school football players will join their program in the fall.
Everyone has their opinions on National Signing Day. Many don’t like it. Others think it is a great day to celebrate the [...]

With National Signing Day 8 days away, a lot of recruiting news is circling in sports media. Talk of commits, de-commits, stars, signings, etc. can be confusing. So I’ve put together a few key points to remember over the next few days.
1. Stars mean squat. Rivals, Scout.com, and other recruiting sites use a “star system” [...]

So while I was riding out the horrible storm today (you east coast people are welcome) (yes, I live in California and still cover the Seminoles), I took some time out of my day to be a guest on the In the Bleachers podcast. Today’s talk was about all things FSU football—Bobby’s retirement, Jimbo’s coaching [...]

If this picture doesn’t get you excited about 2010 Seminole football, I don’t know what will. Taken from the Under Armour All-American game a few weeks ago, pictured (from left to right) are FSU commits Kenny Shaw (4 star WR from Orlando), Jeff Luc (4 star ILB from Port St. Lucie), and Lamarcus Joyner (5 [...]

If you’re anything like me, you’re sick of all this Matt Elam news. He’s committed to UF. He’s decommitted from UF. He’s committed to FSU. He’s leaning back toward UF. He’s decommitted from FSU. Now I know why NoleCC doesn’t follow recruiting; it can be maddening. But don’t let the Elam Saga distract you from [...]

Stephanie Drake is headed to Florida State, even after snapping her fibula last year.
